Ecology Building Society Savings reviews (583)

Quick with decent interest and great newsletter

Quick with decent interest and great newsletter I have been a saver with the Ecology for over ten years, holding a savings account and more recently, taking out a cash is a. The society is small but well managed by a dedicated hands on team whom we pay normal salaries and benefits to without the city of London :bs. There is constantly more demand for savings inflow and thr board have been very careful to slow the rate of mortgage growth to reflect demand and continue paying pre crisis interest rates. Easy to deal with paper forms in post, by phone or online. I attended one AGM, a good few years ago when it was in my locale (I'm London based) and greatly enjoyed it. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

thanks for a brilliant service

We like to know that our savings achieve good outcomes when we trust making a deposit Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Reliable and sustainable

My savings are in safe hands at Ecology, and I love that the bank is small enough to see that it works to uphold its mission statement. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

It is a bank that supports those who have an ecological vision to realise it

Always very easy to talk on the phone to someone at the bank who is helpful Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Solid and Principled

I have saved with the Ecology for over 40 years which I think is testimony in it self. They have always been ahead of the curve in their ethical based principles, ways of working and the promotion of sustainable living. No purple prose in their financial product, just clear solid helpful information. I have absolute trust in the Ecology BS. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Easy to deal with but not the most competitive

Easy building society to deal with on a day to day basis but very quick to drop the interest rates - statements through in the post is a bonus though and online system is decent. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Genuine decent straight-talking customer service

I have been saving with Ecology for years and always found them consistently helpful, straightforward and skilled - unlike other banks which have been consumed by the profit motive. If only their ethos was fully shared by other more mainstream banks. Many thanks and keep up the great work Ecology! Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

As a new customer, the process was refreshingly straightforward.

Even before becoming a customer, the contact details were clearly marked and a simple phone call to Ecology answered my questions. The other winning factor, was that I could set up a savings account for my grandson, something that another ethical bank couldn't do. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

An outstanding ethical product with a strongly people centred approach

Ecology Building Society uses our savings to create positive impact for people and the environment - and they live their values from their sustainable office building, to staff growing food in their garden, right down to impeccable customer service so that I know we are seen as part of their team! Their newsletter is informative and keeps me up to date, and our savings are secure and valued. I think this is a winning business and I recommend them regularly to friends and family. This is the way to go! Reviewed on: 7th April 2021

Friendly, ethical and efficient

I save with the Ecology Building Society as they combine effortlessly and efficiently a bank that is rooted in principles and ways of working that are important for me and essential for our society with a friendly and efficient savings service. I have not hesitated to regularly encourage friends and family to save with Ecology. They deserve to best a positive example to other banks here and internationally. Reviewed on: 7th April 2021
